"Israel has repeatedly entered Syria since the fall of al-Assad and has carried out air raids across the country. Israeli troops have carried out a ground operation in Syria's southeastern Deraa province, Syria's state news agency reported, the latest incursion in the neighbouring country as it also continues air raids against Damascus in various locations. Soldiers also carried out searches in the Saysoun and Jamlah towns on Sunday, which are adjacent to the 1974 ceasefire line that was meant to separate Israeli and Syrian troops."
"On Saturday, Ahmed al-Sharaa, the country's interim president, said talks with Israel have begun to re-establish a 1974 agreement which was concluded after the 1973 war between the countries. Israel and Syria have held direct talks in recent months, and al-Sharaa has ruled out normalisation. The talks are aimed at halting Israel's aggressive actions towards Syria and reaching some kind of security deal."
"Israel has launched hundreds of strikes on military sites and assets across Syria since the fall of former leader Bashar al-Assad in December. It has also expanded its occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights by seizing the demilitarised buffer zone, a move that violated the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria. On Tuesday, Syria strongly condemned Israeli attacks on several sites in and around Homs city in the west of the country and around the coastal city of Latakia."
